Fifteen men came out to Mattawamkeag
Wednesday night from LeaYitts camp They
were all on snow shoes and yoked to pung
in which sat their cook, woman, who had
taken the ride over the big drifts for dis
lance Of is miles. The woman said that al
though the team was not very fast she had
greatly enjoyed the ride.
A gentleman who came down river tells
the Commercial that it has now been two
weeks since the stage has been any further
than Moluncus on the Patten stage route.
Five men have come out of the Moluncus
House on snow shoes from the different lum-
Der camps to carry the mail and also to get
money TO pay off the crews. One or two of
them Travelled over $50 miles for this pur-
pose and had hard time to get through. Mr..
LaiDg of the firm of Laing q Jones, owners
Of the line, started for Houlton to see the
county commissioners in regard to breaking
out the roads, the work will require funds.
Mr.. Jones, better known to everybody in
that section as "Unele Isaac,'' has been at
the Moluncus House ten days and does not
think much of such weather He says that
the snow averages from five to seven feet on
q level and says that sh0yelling will have to
be done on nearly evegE foot of the road
from Patten to Moluncus before a team can
pass over il. This is not very pleasant out
look for them.

PORTLAND & oGDENsBURG.
An article in the Boston Globe says that
according to the authority of a railroad pres
ident, ''the Portland & 0gdensburg has al
ready been gobbled up by the Boston q
Maine. Its surrender has not been formally
announced, but this, it is believed, will be
only a question of a short time" The og-
densburg won't be gobbled up by the Boston
d Maine, or any other road, until the citi-
zens so vote, and we don't believe they will
do that in hurry.

FROM BANGOR TO MILO.

NOTES.
The Portland Company are very busy on
orders for locomotives for the Maine Central
and Boston q Maine roads, and are about
closing contract with New York parties fol
locomotives for western road, which, to.
gether with large amount of miscellaneous
work, gives employment TO about 400 men.
1t is reported that advantage is to be taken
of the recent railroad decision in New
Hampshire to make an attempt to break the
LowelPs lease of the Nashua g. Lowell. AS
there is only four miles of this road in New

were unique and tasty. The different parts
were so equally well rendered that spec

Bait for Canadian EIsbern,en

The Canadian fishermen have begun to ar
rive at this port in search of clam bait for
the seasons fishing. These Canadians ar
que that our fish dealers will be glad to sell
them all the clam bait they want because, by
SO doing they are adding so much money to
their seasons profit. The Canadians will
thus secure their bait in advance of any re-
taliatory measures that may be undertaken
by our government, after the fishing season
commences, provided the Dominion govern
ment won't let our fishermen buy bait in
Canada. They admit the refusal to permit
them to buy bait here would work them more
injury than the same refusal can hurt Amer
